RE: How Does Anyone Get 43 Votes on 30 Views?
Well you hit on a point right there, people have little choice but to be part of a community. That being said I already found some folks who are forming groups of less than 10, ..guess what they are doing. Due to limited visibility I may not see someone's post if I log in at 5pm and they posted at 8am. Then there are those that post 3 times a day and re-steem several posts after that, completely spamming my feed. For that reason I feel I have to limit how many I follow to about 100 as I barely have time to check up on that many active posters, much less vote on all of them. I don't like to be pigeon holed like that. The net result is that I have 170+ followers here, but never get that many views; not even close. On another platform I have 150 followers, but sometimes I get 2000 views and often at least 300+. The sign on bonus info I got from @bethwheatcraft.
very enlightening thread! thank you @onnovocks you have a new follower here, I am still learning all this stuff as well, I have a couple TBI's from the military and my memory isn't that good, hopefully all the tricks of the trade will sink in eventually
We learn as we go. I understand how you feel about being selective on the number of people you choose to follow. I was the same way until I realized I need to be open to meeting others as part of our #newbieresteemday initative. Of course I will clean up my list once I know who I’ve built a relationship with or not.
Given, there are people that want to resteem and other members that help in other ways in my community. Not everyone wants to give up their blog space. I share this account with others and personally don’t resteem. I help out in other ways.
I also don’t post much and I’m not on here all the time. So I don’t have time to read everyone’s posts on my feed. But you build relationships with your community. I don’t get many views myself and the ones that do stop by are the ones I have a relationship with. So I make it a point to visit their blogs, not to just depend on my feed.
Deciding on how you go through this Steemit journey is a personal decision. Thanks for letting me know about the bonus link to the other platform. I barely have time to learn this one, not sure if I would have time to learn others. 😬
Best to you!
The point is that if I follow someone, I follow someone. I don't want to follow 100 people that resteem 5 posts a day to gain curation rewards, it clogs my feed with 500 posts I'm probably not interested in and that I now have to scroll through to get to stuff I am interested in. That means I regularly miss posts from folks I do care about and now have to make the effort to visit their blogs separately from the feed. This gets to be very time consuming; I simply can't do it. Any one I follow that resteems more than 1 post a day, every day, will likely be unfollowed, I can't read them all anyway. Good luck with the beeyou project!!
I completely understand. Thanks for the follow. Let’s see if we can make it work 😉.
Thanks for the best wishes!
